[QUOTE="Phil Davies, post: 160653, member: 2541"] In my defence M'lord, most of my problem is that once I started road racing (historics) I was utterly hooked, I was always wanting to develop 'the next stage of tune' and getting the parts to do it (but not doing the last one!), this problem carried on when I moved to the modern (as was then) class, I had so much fun on them at the time when family took over they just got ignored with the thought that 'I'll get to them later for some more fun' - its just that time takes over while you are not looking! I have only ever 'chased' one bike to own and I only got to own it (relatively recently) because, "You Phil are the only person on the planet daft enough to even think about trying to restore the utter heap, let alone be singularly stubborn enough to actually do it" - its a money pit and the ambition now is to actually complete it before I fall off the plank, because the bike deserves it. The rest are the road bikes I used to run before going racing, somehow I could just not part with them back in the day, although I did sell a twin (which I have always regretted!!) to buy my first modern class outfit and [/QUOTE]
